I wasn't expecting it to come out this extreme but okay. Some of the questions seem kind of abhorrent to me. I worry about people who would strongly agree with them :S but then, their choice I guess. I hope the Tories don't get in at the next election they only care about wealthy people who live in their own little Downton Abbey fantasy world with them.

I always end up on the left side but vertically it stays in the middle altering between Libertarian and Authoritarian.

Hey, us country people hate the Tory leaders as much as the rest of the country! Our votes and views just get taken for granted while the toffs do what they please.

Almost right in the middle of the lower left section.

When I saw the question about how mothers should primarily be concerned with child bearing and housework, my jaw almost dropped (if someone here actually believes such a thing, I'll have you know there is not sufficient words in the English and Swedish languages to express my disgust). And then there was the sixth page...good heavens.

Well, this is pretty much exactly how I thought I'd be. I used to be further on the left, but I've moved a bit more right recently.

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10

Most people here seem to be Libertarians I'm a little higher on the Authoritarian, but that's just because I know without rules people will go too far.

Last time I did one of these, I nailed the bullseye. More center than hollande.

I found it informative.

I'm not American, but thought I'd stick to the pattern. :p

I have a feeling all the Escapists being so close together is an indicator of our ages and economic levels. I am in my twenties and don't make much money. How about all of you?

You're all gonna want to hold your breath for this one.


Look at me breaking the mold. But in all honesty I really think this test has a strong bias, and I find it hard to believe that Obama and all democratic senators fall in the top right side of this chart.
consider myself to be pretty much aligned with the president on most issues yet according to this we're practically opposites.

I have a pretty big problem with how many of these questions are worded. There is a very strong bias towards the left in the text of the questions. I also find the lack of a neutral option troubling.

Economic Left-Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.41
A neutral option would be pointless! Also, if you saw a bias it was your own bias as these questions do not make value judgements at all, you are viewing them through your own values. Very interesting to see how people interpret the test.

I dunno how to post the image here, but I landed just a CENTIMETER from the center, pointing towards the lower left.

I always knew God rolled me up as True Neutral.
